SaraListed with official documentation relating to the contacts and sales of Sara And Hoppity were the revised lyrics to two of the songs from the series, written by Roberta Leigh. These are reproduced as follows:

Sara's Song

Sara:
I know that I should always try to be good
But it's awfully hard you see
For the naughtiest toy in the whole world
Is the one that belongs to me

Hoppity, Hoppity
Hoppity is a toy from a Goblin Ring
Hoppity, Hoppity
Wind him right up and he'll sing

Hoppity: Tiddlee-tum, tiddlee-tee, diddlee-dum, diddlee-dee
Sara: Listen to him sing
Hoppity: Tiddlee-tum, tiddlee-tee, diddlee-dum, diddlee-dee
Sara: Words mean anything

Sara:
If I put him in my pocket
He will jump right out*
If I tell him to be quiet
He will sing and he will shout*

Hoppity:
Heehee hee hee heee
Tiddlee teeeeee

Sara:
I know that I should always try to be good
But it's awfully hard you see
For the naughtiest toy in the whole world
Is the one that belongs to me

Hoppity, Hoppity
Hoppity is a toy from a Goblin Ring
Hoppity, Hoppity
Wind him right up and he'll sing

Hoppity: Tiddlee-tum, tiddlee-tee, diddlee-dum, diddlee-dee
Sara: Listen to him sing
Hoppity: Tiddlee-tum, tiddlee-tee, diddlee-dum, diddlee-dee
Sara: Words mean anything

Sara:
Jump on Shaggy's back and tease him
Then he'll dance away
He does something naughty
Every minute of the day

Hoppity:
Heehee hee hee heee
Tiddlee teeeeee

Repeat first two verses

*These originally read: He'll jump right out and He'll sing and he'll shout*

A brief snippet from Sara's Song can be heard in the pilot episode, as Sara winds up Hoppity for the first time.

Hoppity Strip

Fat Boy's Song

Georgy GuzzlerI don't mind going for a walk
I don't mind little girls who talk
As long as I've got a knife and fork
To start eating

I don't mind playing lots of games
With soldiers or electric trains
Or watching birds or spotting planes
If I'm eating
if I'm eating all the time

I like a game of marbles and a game of conkers too
And riding on a scooter is a smashing thing to do
Playing hopscotch in the park or bowling my big hoop
Having fun as indians - just listen to me whoop!
Cricket, football, hide and seek and races on my bike
By the time that I come home, there's one thing that I like

A great big bowl of irish stew
And apple pie with cream on too*
I always eat enough for two
'Cos I'm hungry

Some chicken stuffed with prunes or peas
Some lamb and caulifower cheese
Then jelly stuffed with gooseberries
When I'm hungry
I'll eat anything in sight

I like a game of marbles and a game of conkers too
And riding on a scooter is a smashing thing to do
Playing hopscotch in the park or bowling my big hoop
Having fun as indians - just listen to me whoop!
Cricket, football, hide and seek - watch them all chase me
By the time that I come home I'm ready for my tea

*This originally read: And apple pie with cream like glue
